Creating a Song
This section explains how to make a song out of your sequences. Before starting, make sure that you
have recorded some sequences (which we described earlier in this chapter).
To enter Song Mode, press Menu, and then tap Song. You’ll see each of the sequences you’ve
created in this project assigned to a pad. The sequence playlist is to the left of the pads.
As a song plays, it moves through each step of the sequence playlist. Each step contains a sequence
you assigned.
Each step can be repeated, determined by the value in the Repeat column (the repeat icon). A Repeat
value of 1 means the sequence will play through only once. The Bars column on the right indicates the
length of that step: [the number of bars in the sequence] x [the number of times it repeats].
Each step can be set to play its sequence at an independent tempo, determined by the value in the BPM
column.
